Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Juvenile Sentencing
Respondent, a high school freshman, was adjudicated to be a delinquent minor and was committed to Department of Juvenile Justice. Court failed to review statutorily required evidence before ordering minor's commitment. It would have been practicable to perform investigation into educational background of the minor, including whether ever assessed for a learning disability, and whether any disciplinary incidents. School records can be obtained by court order. (STEIGMANN and POPE, concurring.)
